Product catalog summary
Overview
The Model 1620 Compressibility Test Machine is designed to evaluate the compressibility of friction materials at temperatures up to 600°C. It is compliant with U.S. and CE standards and is suitable for testing materials such as brake linings, wet friction materials, and gaskets. The machine is ideal for quality control and product development due to its ease of operation and precise measurements.

Features
  • Standalone desktop workstation with global compatibility.
  • Automated operation with data analysis and reporting capabilities.
  • ProLink software for ease of use and test customization.
  • Standard calibration fixture for precision and repeatability.
  • Capable of running compression, swell/growth, and combined tests.
  • Records temperature changes over time.

Options
  • Load capacities of 94 kN and 120 kN.
  • Twin piston fixtures available.

Specifications
  • Control modes include force, brake system pressure, pad surface area pressure, and temperature.
  • Cylinder stroke length: 50mm.
  • Deflection resolution: +/- 0.5 µm.
  • Load capacity: 60,000 N with a maximum load error of 0.5%.
  • Rate of travel: 0 to 25 kN/sec.
  • Temperature range: Ambient to 600°C with a resolution of +/- 1°C.

Testing Procedure
Samples are placed on the machine's platen, which can be heated up to 600°C. A specified force is applied, and sample deflection versus load is measured and plotted for the first and last compression cycles. Results are summarized with tabular and graphical data. The ProLink software controls the tester, acquires data, and allows for custom test setups, supporting standards like SAE J2468 and ISO 6310.
